Glittered Glass Ornaments
Instructions:Glittered-glass ornaments will look beautiful on your tree or hanging from your mantel. Look for old ornaments at flea markets and tag sales, and try using unexpected shapes, not just spheres.
To store ornaments, wrap them individually in acid-free tissue paper and pack them into sturdy containers with dividers. These can be found at discount and housewares stores during the Christmas season. Store boxes of ornaments in a dry place. Keep them away from the attic or the basement, where temperature and humidity tend to fluctuate too much.
Glass ornaments, old and new
Kraft paper, to cover work surface
Small bowls or containers, one for each color glitter
1/2-inch eye hooks
Ribbon (we used metallic silver)
1. Brush a very thin layer of glue over the entire surface of the ornament. You may need to thin down the glue with water.
2. Hold the ornament over a container filled with glitter and, using a spoon, sprinkle glitter on the ornament until it is completely covered. Turn the ornament as you apply the glitter.
3. You may need to apply the glue and glitter on larger ornaments one section at a time.
4. When the ornament is completely covered, gently tap off the excess glitter.
5. Set the ornament on a sheet of Kraft paper, or hang it to dry.(from the website)
